15 mL Autoanalyzer Cups, Polystyrene, Green — BD® Compatible Sample Cups (240-6400-G10), 4/Bag
These 15 mL polystyrene autoanalyzer cups are precision-molded for clinical chemistry and sample-management workflows requiring a reliable, BD®-compatible sample cup in a compact 4/Bag pack size. Supplied non-sterile in green, they integrate into color-coded laboratory sample-handling systems and are designed as a cost-effective replacement for OEM BD® sample cups of the same volume class.

Applications
- Clinical chemistry sample staging on BD®-compatible autoanalyzer platforms
- Serum and plasma aliquoting prior to automated analysis
- Color-coded specimen tracking in multi-user clinical and hospital laboratories
- Sample cup replacement workflows where OEM BD® cups are being sourced from an alternate supplier to reduce consumable costs
Compatibility
These autoanalyzer cups are designed as a direct replacement for BD® sample cups in the 15 mL format, fitting the cup-carrier geometry of BD®-compatible autoanalyzer platforms. The green color allows laboratories already using color-coded cup conventions to maintain their existing sample-identification workflows without retraining staff. Always confirm cup-to-carrier fit against your specific instrument model before transitioning fully from OEM supply, as autoanalyzer platforms may vary across generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these autoanalyzer cups sterile?
No — part number 240-6400-G10 is supplied non-sterile in 4/Bag packaging, which is standard for clinical chemistry autoanalyzer cup applications where sterility is not a requirement.
Will these cups fit my BD® autoanalyzer without modification?
These cups are designed to be compatible with BD® autoanalyzer cup carriers in the 15 mL class. Because instrument configurations can vary across BD® platform generations, it is good practice to verify physical fit with a small trial quantity before committing to a full institutional order.
Can polystyrene autoanalyzer cups be used with organic solvents or strong disinfectants?
Polystyrene offers excellent resistance to aqueous samples, serum, plasma, and dilute reagents, but it is not compatible with acetone, chlorinated solvents, or alcohols above 70%. For workflows involving aggressive organic solvents, a polypropylene cup format would be more appropriate.
Why are these cups green?
Green supports color-coded laboratory sample-management systems where cup color signals a particular sample type, processing status, or department. Using a consistent color across a procurement run helps multi-user labs maintain visual workflow controls without additional labeling.
